LoveBrum – Supporting hidden gem projects in Birmingham

Serving our city since 2015
Charity No. 1157505

Why do we do it?
We Love Brum!

We work alongside organisations taking on the toughest of our city’s challenges – but who struggle to access funding, support or platforms.

We love brum (It’s in the name). We’re proud of our city, but we also recognise the reality of life in Birmingham and the serious challenges the city faces such as serious crime, homelessness, drug addiction and social injustice.
There is a hidden ecosystem of small, volunteer projects that are tackling these issues head-on. They’re hard to find, often poorly funded and lack the infrastructure to support and further their work.
LoveBrum helps find, fund and support these causes, ensuring they the support, exposure and funding they deserve.

Jenny Graham
Beyond The Horizon

Beyond the Horizon offers Counselling and Play Therapy to children and young people who are bereaved, have experienced loss through parental separation or have experienced domestic abuse. LoveBrum provided us with the funding to purchase IT equipment so that we could still see children online and keep the important relationship with their Therapist going. The support of LoveBrum has provided us with hope and a sense of relief.

Sian Dhillon
St Basils

The outreach team handed out LoveBrum Bags For Brummies packages to those who we are supporting and have been rough sleeping. The fact that it was new items was lovely, just something about being able to give a young person something that only they have owned, the look on their faces is wonderful.going. The support of LoveBrum has provided us with hope and a sense of relief.

Chetan Palmer
The Colebridge Trust

Our work is centred around inclusion, employment and skills. The funding will contribute towards a newly created post "Production Mentor" who is fulltime care qualified worker who will be able to support the placements that we have from our local special schools and persons with additional needs employment projects. We now have the capacity to move forward some of our ideas and thinking around creating better experiences for people with learning difficulties and disabilities.
